The mass meeting of the congrega tions of the Tabernacle, Baptist, Chris tian and Presbyterian churches was held in the First Baptist church Sun day night That was the first union meeting held in the building since it had been enlarged and it was demon- atrated then that other large audi-" torium with splendid acoustic proper- . ties was added to the city..- It is estl- j mated that there wue 1 000 people in ' the assembly. - Every avai able seat in the audiforiuni. gallery and annex was taken and '.he immense audience was in itself a grand Inspiration, . Tne musicrtl program was H.'hly en joyed, especially two solos which were I sung by Kev, Mr. uarth. They were . appropriate and beautiful selections The discourse of the evening was by Rev. R. C. Beaman, D. D.. whose ar raisrnment of the dispensary movement . two weeks aero wua so" . convincing and. eloquent. His theme was on three jassages, viz: "Where is Abel thy brother 7" To which Cain, the, man of whom the question was asked, answereds"I know not, am I my broth er's keeper ?", and the last "the blood of Abel cryetb unto me from the ground " He divided his discourse in thro heads: D vine Solicitude; Human Selfishness; and the'lnevitable Law of .Retribution. - The sermon was one which will long be remembered as one of the most powerful and logical arraigrments of the dispensary evil that has yet been made. He said' that he was not ad dressing a political convention, nor was it his purpose to discuss a moral ques tion from a political standpoint, but in the consideration of the three passages mentioned he held the audience, spell bOuad for an hour. After the sermon, Rev. -Mr. Colton made a few remarks in regard to his work. E9EED STOCH REMEDY F. S. Duffy Will Refund Monef if Mi o na Fails to Cure. You may ask why it is that -Mi-o-na tomach tablets are sold by Y. S. Duffy under a guarantee to refund the money! nniesa tney cure, when no other treat ment for stomach trouble is sold in this manner. The answer is simple and conclu aive. Other medicines for stomach troubles merely digest the food, when Mi-o-na strengthens the whole digestive system eo that it soon becomes able to care for all the food that is eaten. h If you do not use your arm or leg for a month the muscles become flabby and - weak and you have, to resort to arti ficial help. It is the same way with ( the stomach muscles.. If they are not ' used, they become so weak that it is necessary to continue using a digestive with the food you eat . On the other , hand, when you me Mi-o-na your stomach soon grows so strong that you can give up the uso of medicine. Ml-o-na costs 50 cents a box.and does more real good than a dozen boxes of ordinary digestive tablets. The proof of this is shown In the fact that a guarantee, absolute and unqualified is given by F. S. Duffy with every box oj Mi-o-na. . There was a small mixup on the P. O & W. track at the junction of N.

Raleigh, Jan 18 In the House bills were introduced by Winbourn to regu late criminal trials in Hertford : By Douglas, to extend the crime of vagrancy, and previde for the enforce ment of the law against .vagrancy, and to exe'ude minora from bar rooms and pool rooms; to make Solicitors State officers, and provide .for their election by the State at large. By Laughingbouse, to prohibit fishing with pound nets in the Neuse, Pamlico, Tar and Roanoke rivers. By Doughton, to authorize the sur vey and proper marking of the State line between Virginia and North Caro lina. To pay passengers expense in curred by delayed passenger trains. LctXta 'iMl op'ent.: the fraudulent sum ; ui .. . uiercHuiiuisB iu uuin, coming - up on second reading, Doughton explained it, declaring it just and equitable, saying it was designed simply to prevent fraud, and would stop secretly transferring an entire stock Of goods to a purchaser, leaving creditors of the seller helpless to get their money. The bill is practically a copy of the Kentucky law. . The law is now in force in Virginia, South Caroli na, Georgia and twenty other states. Winbern opposed the bill. Stevens said the bill had been very carefully discussed and deliberated upon by the committee, and upon this close exam ination all superficial objections were found to be untenable. Manning said it was analagous to the present law protecting material, men and owners of buildings, as against possible fraud or carelessness on the part of mechanics and contractors. . Mr. Winborn offered an amendment which was accepted, providing that any creditor who during the period of five days notice, should sue out an attach ment, muBt give a bond conditioned up on the payment of damages, should the attachment proceedings be disallowed. Upon further objections to the bill' it was made special order for next Tues day.

The select committee appointed to wait upon General Robert F. Hoke, and invite him to be present at the celebra tion of the one hundredth anniversary of the birthday of Robert E. Lee, sub mitted its report, stajng that General Hoke had expressed his gratification at the honor thus done him, but stated that his feeble health prevents him from being present. The committee further reported that Hon. James C. McRae would deliver the memorial ad dress at noon tomorrow, after which there will be brief speeches upon Gener al Lee, by Senators Hoke and Car ter. At noon the President declared the Senate adjourned until noon Monday, in honor of the memory of Robert E. Lee, the centennial anniversary of whose birth falls on tomorrow. The exercises in honor of the day will be held in the hall of the House. Large number of the senators and representatives however, left for their homes this afternoon, this being the object of the Senate in meeting at ten o'clock this morning and working only two hours. Our New Minister The Petersburg Va. Index Appeal, Jan 11th says of "Our New Minister," the play which appears at the opera house next Friday night: Our New Minister," a character play along comedy lines, in which there is a dominant vein of that ge nial satire which is designed by the author.to better his kind, was 'pre sented at the Academy of music last evening by1 a remarkably well ' bal anced company to a highly delighted audience. The obvious purpose of the play is one which will commend itself particularly to ministere and deals interestingly 'and suggestively with many of the ministerial and nastorial difficulties they encounter almost daily - in their trying vocation Not the least of these difficulties is the task of cenvincing ntrrow-mind-ed communicants that there is a hu. man side to roligion, and a very im portant side, too. The atmosphere of the play is that of NewEngland, and the charscters are drawn with strict fidelity to the si tus not only with respect to accent and manners, but to sturdy insis tence upon prejudices as well as prin ciples. It is the business of Mr. Boyd Nolan, as Taddeus . Strong our new minister, to shock the New England idea with some revelations of advance thought, which will apply to other communities quite as appropriately as to Hardscrabble. N. H. . This he does with true ministerial dignity and self; repression, often under very trying circumstances. It may be said of Mr, Nolao, as of the entire cast, that he is an actor of fine qualifications, and holds the mirror strictly true to nature. The stellar Dart of the programme, how ever, was that of Darius Startle, country detective, to which there was a' square yard of fun to every squre inch of charade; as impersonate and exoloited by Mr. Joseph Conyers. I ladeed tne whole play bubbles over with spontaneous and scintiilant hu mor, and there is not a dull line in it from start to nuiah. The interest is enhanced by a charming little love ro mance, and the villainy never rises above the hypocrisy which is found in exceptional instances in almost every community. While the curtain was up it was al most an incessant season of laughter and the audience rapturously applauded Minister" would make a retunn visit to this city next Aprilr. The Best Illustrated Magazine The Metropolitan Magazine has long enjoyed the reputation of being the best illustrated magazine on the stands. Such men as C. J. Taylor, Au gusta Malta, George Gibbs, Charles Liviigston Btll, Ilia M. Andrews, Mary Frass, Elizabeth W. Ahrens, J. M. Conde and C. V. Dwiggins are a few of the artists who contribute to the Feb- ' uary number, in color and in black and ! white. In addition t' ' re ere nmny THE BROAD FIELD OF IHTI ii 1 1 Address of Great Interest Made Iu Behalt of Good Government. " At the Presbyterian church Sunday Rev. A. E. Colton spoke on the work of the International Reform Burcsau of which he -is the corresponding secre tary. As hits been stated before, this institution is under the supervision of Rev. Wilbur Crafts, D. D who 13 re- sponsible for many national reforms, notably that of the defeat of the Louis iana State Lottery. This organization operates on the principal that whatever affects the na tion affects the State, whatever affects the State affects the municipality, and whatever affects the monicipality af fects the citizen; therefore the national evils are to be fought by the individual. r. Colton 's remarks wer) on the "Kingship of Christ in Public Affairs", showing how Christ in his life on earth was constantly brought in contact with the vital questions of the day and how he dealt with them, asserting his au thority to do so as a King. An ex ten sion of the work is planned by the Bu reau and in the futu.-e agents will be placed in the Southern field to keep up the interest of the organization and al so to keep in touch with affairs in this section.- It is a movement of undoubt ed necessity. The speaker showed in brief what bad been accomplished by the Bureau amounting to 122 reforms accomplished up to April 30, 1906. They have affected the passage of 9 acts by Congress which they formulated them selves and which were passed without material alteration. They are not only interested in the matter of good legis lation but they prevent the making of bad laws. It was this Bureau that started the agitation of closing the gates of the various expositions on Sun day, which they have accomplished. Other measures were directed against liquor and opium traffic and one law was passed to break up the "divorce colonies" in Oklahoma and South Da kota. They have madejnuch progress in leg islation against Mormunism. He spoke of his observations in Mormon territory and regarded the conditions there as a terrible menace to the country. They are of course busy in unseating Senator Smoot of Utah. These and many more constitute the work of the Bureau and their labor ard growing It is their sole purpose to execute there reforms that good government free from all forms of evil may facilitate the on ward march of the Kingdom of Christ The medicine that sets the whole world thinking, The remedy on which all doctors agree, The prescription all your friends are taking, is Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

All grades above the second have the examinations and the week will be taVen up with the examinations.

In the H. S. two languages are now required Latin and either French or German. The attendance yesterday was 570 the highest thus fai this year.

Two reasons For Consulting Your Wife The author of "The Autobiography of a business Man" in the February Everybody's eviden ly writes from personal experience. "I had gotten so that I kind of liked to consult my wife ,fvr two reasons," he says. ' "One I had found in the past that she was pretty levelheaded. The other reason was, that if I consulted her and I made a mistake she could not tell me afterwards, 'I told you so.' Most women folks have far better business judgment than they are given credit for, and the majority of men, in my estimation, would be better off if they would consult their wives.- Their bump of cautiousness is very lurge, and that most men need.
